Hi

Noted that there is some issue with the hacking of wall at your flat.

Did you engage the PE before going to HDB?

Coz I am also thinking of hacking my new hse but not sure if HDB will allow.

ID went to his PE for advice... and was told if its a non load-bearing RC wall, still possible to hack..

but mine was a load-bearing one.. so there's nothing much PE can do to get it approved also.. hope it helps.

nope.... :) maybe just check with HDB if the wall u intend to hack is a load-bearing RC wall.

common toilet.... i wonder why is the water heater and shower still there... -_-

If you cant hack the storeroom maybe hack in the center of the wall in both side so do a study room in there.

if you not too sure the design your ID can help you .

ultimate sian now... but i am thinking... if PE deem its ok to hack off the storeroom. HDB shld approve it ma... :bangwall:

As tampines considen it a very old flat and it different from curren new flat .

You should asking me WHY???

Cos new flat using beam support and old flat using the part of the concret support .

that why storeroom it a part that not can be hack.
